Returns true if the passed in type is a numeric type.

Returns true if the specified type requires a value specified in Insert queries. Not all RDBMS's require for each type a value. F.e. SqlServer doesn't require a value for Timestamp types, SqlServer will insert a value automatically.

Returns whether the specified dbtype supports a precision. By default false is returned.

Returns whether the specified dbtype supports a scale. By default false is returned.

Deserializes attributes of this element's base class from the reader.

Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Executes the specified action with the active recovery strategy on this driver. If no recovery strategy is specified it will execute the action directly

Executes the specified func with the active recovery strategy on this driver. If no recovery strategy is specified it will execute the func directly
